My Puma.. Maximum Track Attack!!

[Dal]

Hmm.. bit different with the orange wing to how I saw it last in September 2008:

 

[PumaJay]

nope it looks a long way from that at the minute!! like that pic aswell.


Gonna be doing a fair bit to it tomorrow aswell, need to get a good hieght on the coilovers, ive decided that 80mm is too low now as i cant get over any speed bumps with the lower strut brace on.

and then just gonna be doing some general tidying up on the car and tarting it up abit, paint brake calipers/drums etc.

Pics to follow!!

Sorry to hear about your crash but on the bright side you're doing an awesome job of fixing up the car. Love the work you're doing and I like where its going. I will definitely be checking back for final photos.

What is also inspiring is your taste for lime green and black because that is the colour scheme I have gone with =]

 

[TyeBoi]

and as i post it the page suddenly refreshes to when you have finished the car ... lol

 

[TyeBoi]

Can I ask what mud flaps are used in the photo posted by Dal about 8 posts up? I am looking for some mud flaps and I really like those ones you have there =]

 

[Cherie]

They're the Ford OEM mudflaps. They're about £20 a pair, depending on the prices your local Ford parts desk charge. Only Ford produce the shaped ones that fit the contours of the arches.

 

[TyeBoi]

Thanks Cherie I will nip down to ford in a bit I think.

 

[DradusContact]

I think i paid £24 per pair from pumabuild. I didnt think ford would have them but if ford still stock them then just get them from them. They come with metal clips which seem to work loose, i lost two from mine but i found a replacement which works pretty well.

 

[TyeBoi]

Yeh the mudflaps are rather pricey so I might leave them for a bit...

I am trying so hard not to copy your car PumaJay but I am also going with Black and Lime green... it all started 2 years ago when I was given green neons for my car lol You have done a great job with yours so it is very inspirational!

Can I just ask about the lime green down the roof rack slots?

Is that a sticker or did you paint it on...?

I am trying to find a lime green sticker long and thin like that to go across my sideskirts as a sort of an underline for my other lime green decays that are there.

 

[TyeBoi]

also where did you find paint for you plastic engine cover ? I really want mine lime green along with my calipers/drums but I CANNOT find it anywhere! please help

 

[PumaJay]

i just used some spray paint for the rocker cover, as for drums and calipers its abit harder to come by, put "lime green caliper paint" in ebay and theres sometimes something in there, or if you can get some mg x power green paint that will work just the same.


the roof gutters are just stickers as is the the stripe round the rims......



..... but all the lime green is off on the outside now, got bored of it, it starts look tacky after a while, im keeping it all lime green under the bonnet so it adds abit of colour but thats it, its all going black and stealthy on the outside!!


i'l post some new pics up when i get my new dslr camera!

 

[TyeBoi]

nice on mate.

yeh i mix blue and yellow hamorite for the calipers in the end. got a really good colour! i have a few lime green stickers but i agree too much does make it too tacky.

i am in the process of changing my insurance at the moment so i can either keep my alloys on or change them. then i can sort out getting it lowered and i will be happy to leave it at that for a bit while i go back to uni.

Took some new pics with my new SLR camera, bought a nikon D60 today and i love it already...
